FISH! Philosophy

The FISH! Philosophy is made out of four simple principles:

Play
Make Their Day
Be There
Choose Your Attitude

Play

Make your day fun with music or a book. If you are waiting for something in the shops then you might want to bring a portable game or a newspaper with a cross word or other puzzles.

Make Their Day

If you see someone who looks a bit sad then sit down and talk to them. You might even be able to make them laugh with a joke.

Be There

If you don't want to go to a soccer match and your team is one player short then it will be harder for them and they might lose.

Choose Your Attitude

"I don't want to go to school, Ms X is really mean!"
"Come on, she'll be all right."
"No, she's really mean!"
This person just should have gone to school and done their best.

On a visit to Seattle, a man called Christensen saw the Pike Place Fish Market. He noticed that the workers were making their disgusting, smelly job fun. Workers would often invite customers to join in and watch them catch and throw the fish. There were catching a crowd and selling lots of fish.


Imagine if they did the FISH! Philosophy in the pet store!
